NYC is the hub of illustration agents. You don't need to be there, but most agents are there.
Email is the best way to get in touch. Keep it simple, little intro, link to your site. Keep at it, let a few months pass then contact the same rep again if you really want to be with them. Do your homework - look at the other artists repped by the agent. Are you a good fit? Someone there already doing work similar to yours. Reps don't want to overlap.
There are boutique reps out there who rep the latest trend, and there are those who are in it for the long haul and rep safer, more commercial artists. All said, reps don't bring in that much work in general and you can't count on them to pay your bills.
